    Tig welders

    I have a Diversion 180, simple, not a bunch of setting to deal with. I do sheet metal using mainly 1/16" & .040" tungstens and it works well for me. I also done small 1/4" & 3/8" aluminum piece with 3/32" tungsten with no problems. I recently added a tig button on the torch & got rid of the...

    Tig torch button

    Bought a tig torch button over the winter for my Miller Diversion 180 and do I like it! The arc control is much nicer and it makes the tig machine mobile. The instructions show mounting the controller box on the outside, but I had plenty of room to put it inside. I bought it through 6016.com...

    Cub Cadet electric steering

    our LGTX 1050 electric steering has become erratic when turning to the right. I can't find any info on servicing these units. Anyone ever worked on the electric gearbox? Now that winters here, I have a chance to pull the gearbox and get it on the bench. A replacement is $600-$700.

    Emax25 smoke, smell, no heat

    My 2019 Emax 25 Cab suffered from smoke and excessive diesel fumes to the point that we couldn't use it. Our clothes would reek of diesel. Another issue was lack of cab heat. I suspected the engine was not getting hot enough and not burning fuel. We had only used it a couple times and since we...
